On the weekend my friend S dropped off about ten pounds of fresh beets at my doorstep. I guess she had a lot. That would be 30 plus beets. I asked a few friends if they would like some but they were not interested. Now, I've never made pickled beets and was not about to start. They came clean and trimmed. I decided to just boil them up in batches of 10 with celery salt, cloves, allspice, vinegar, nutmeg and dried tarragon. They tasted really fresh and good. I peeled and sliced them, packaged them in ziplocs and froze them. I guess I can use them whenever I need frozen vegetables (borscht perhaps?) It was an unexpected, perhaps domesticated way to spend an afternoon!
Here they are all sliced up:

I know they are very healthy, but these are one of the foods I can or will not eat! Valerie
A friend made us borscht once. I didn't like it. Not my favorite food. BTW, I hope your fingers weren't stained red!
We love beets and usually eat them roasted.
are you sure this is delicious?
They are if you like beets lol!
I mix orange juice with melted butter and pour over the beets, roasting them in a 350 degree oven for about 60 minutes or until the beets are soft and caramelized. We don't get beets in the summer. They are a winter veggie here and come in our csa box.
Oh, & you must remember that you've eaten beets or you get quite the surprise when you go to the bathroom!
